Bush And Cheney Celebrate Four Year Anniversary Of Iraq War
Bush And Cheney Celebrate Four Year Anniversary Of Iraq War
Today’s four year anniversary of the Iraq invasion has put the White House on the defensive. “Bush’s schedule originally called for no observation whatsoever of the four-year-anniversary of the war.” But he added a brief public statement late this morning, urging a stay the course approach.
Before altering his plans, Bush’s only public event today called for playing host to the 2006 college football champion Florida Gators. He proceeded with those plans a little after 3 pm today, shaking hands and celebrating the occasion. Via CNN Pipeline:
As for Vice President Cheney, he will be marking today’s Iraq anniversary by attending the Hudson Institute Board Dinner at the swanky Union League Club in New York. ThinkProgress contacted the Vice President’s office to request details about what Cheney will be talking about. “No one in the office can answer that question,” said a Cheney staffer.
Hudson Institute — a proponent of war against Iran — is home to former Cheney chief of staff Scooter Libby.

Bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk, chicken hawks.
Any of you see 300? It is the story of a king who LEADS 300 of his best men into battle.
I can’t even picture Bush leading an army.
March 19th, 2007 at 4:29 pmIf it’s not a frat-boy kegger or a line of coke, then Bush isn’t interested.
3000+ US military and between 400,000 and 700,000 Iraqi civilians died for… what? Surely the pResident and his staff will give us a clue. Won’t they?
March 19th, 2007 at 4:30 pmNo, no one in the White House wants to answer that question.
March 19th, 2007 at 4:31 pmIf we can get Naomi Campbell to mop floors, when we should be able to get these 2 crooks to spend the day (or year) scraping old wallpaper off the walls of Walter Reed.
They’re criminals.
March 19th, 2007 at 4:31 pmIf I was a Florida Gator, I would either refuse to go, or I would go and make sure to rip Chimpy a new one.
Today’s college jocks are all greedy showboaters anyway. They’re no better than the thugs in pro sports.
Beer and pro sports = Bread and Circuses.
Keep the proles occupied so they don’t notice while you’re taking away their rights and ripping them off.
March 19th, 2007 at 4:32 pm“300″ is the story of the Spartans at Thermopylae.
It was the ancient version of the Alamo, all the Spartans died.
I seriously doubt Chimpy would have the guts to lead them.
He would be the Spartan butt-boy who gets screwed by all the men.
March 19th, 2007 at 4:34 pmBush & “Dick” make me sick.
Hey! That rhymes!
March 19th, 2007 at 4:36 pm#5
Yeah, especially these guys who don’t know that meaning of work.
March 19th, 2007 at 4:37 pmAren’t Libby(and Sampson, for that matter)the ‘Spartan Butt Boys” of this administration already?
March 19th, 2007 at 4:37 pmHudson Institute — a proponent of war against Iran — is home to former Cheney chief of staff Scooter Libby.
Aptly named. A think-tank that would warmly welcome a convicted felon like Libby has to be just like the Hudson: an open sewer.
March 19th, 2007 at 4:38 pmWell TP may not have gotten a response, but I have a secret source on the inside and he tells me this is how “Dead Eye” Dick will be celebrating 4 years of US/Iraqi misery
(Sarcasm Begin)
1. Dick will enter the room dressed as Darth Vader with the Imperial March from Star Trek playing in the background.
2. There will be an elite unit of Israeli soldiers standing guard on either side as Dick walks to the podiim
3. The helemt will be removed from Dick’s head to reveal a scowling monster. It is expected that the women in the crowd will faint as the men will have orgasms at the site of Dick.
4. After promising them to nuke Iran at the first chance he gets, facts and evidence be damned, Dick will put on the helmet again
5. He will then preside over a pagan cermenoy to the War God Aris where 1000 vigins (all Iraqi children) will be sacrificed so the War God will be pleased and bestow deferrments on all of Dick’s friends and their sons and daughter elligible for the draft in the upcoming war with Iran.
6. Dick will then drink the blood of the 1000 virgins, mixed wih about a gallon of Vodka and proceed to shoot at everyone in site thinking he is on a quail hunt.
This is all is known so far, stay tuned to Faux Opinion (masqurading as Fox News) for further details of Dick’s “I love War” fest.
(Sarcasm Off)
March 19th, 2007 at 4:38 pmI guess Bush had himself superimposed as either the Coach (Meyer) or the QB (Leak) on their National Championship cards as the “national chimp“???!!
March 19th, 2007 at 4:39 pmYeah- Chimpy will stay the course by attending a ball game and then do a little shopping at the mall. Heaven forbid he actually do something Presidential, like visit the vets.
March 19th, 2007 at 4:40 pmIf the Gators were truly “national champs” they would have used this as an “anti-war platform” so it’s safe to say that they were typical “showboaters” for Bush and not national champs at all but rather “bush leaguers”.
March 19th, 2007 at 4:41 pmI wish they’d celebrate with a cyanide capsule and a pistol.

Damn it, now I have to poke out my eyes.
March 19th, 2007 at 4:41 pmScooter is only temporarily at the Hudson Institute.
He will be going to Club Fed for two years, hopefully soon.

Well, since I’m wearing my shades, I’m heading out.

But… but…. but, Chimpy is allergic to black mold and rat droppings…..
March 19th, 2007 at 4:52 pmAIPAC just had their big event, where the Israeli PM openly pushed for the US to attack Iran and other US policy matters he has no business with. I read that HALF the US Senate and a THIRD of the House were in attendance.
AIPAC = TREASON. AIPAC took stolen secrets from Franklin. AIPAC has been under investigation for espionage since the 1980s.
When they own half the Senate, that means Israel is in charge of our government now. That is treasonous.
March 19th, 2007 at 4:53 pmIt’s a Bush World
It’s a world of secrets
A world of fears
It’s a world of false hope
And a world unclear
There’s so much that’s not shared
It’s time we’re aware
It’s a Bush world after all.
There is just one man
March 19th, 2007 at 4:57 pmAnd he’s Poppy’s son
And his smile means
Different stuff to ev’ryone
Truth is what he hides
And the people he divides
It’s a Bush world after all.
He should celebrate with Florida and relax. He’s been fighting a war against global jihadists for 5 straight years. Even a warrior needs a break.
March 19th, 2007 at 5:01 pmChimpy will celebrate killing 3200 troops by getting drunk tonight.
He hides it from Laura because she walked out on him the last time he got pissfaced.
Chimpy is a sorry excuse for a President. A complete failure.
March 19th, 2007 at 5:06 pmHe’s been fighting a war against global jihadists for 5 straight years. Even a warrior needs a break.
Comment by firehead
answer why Bush is not interested in finding Osama bin Forgotten, the one who supposedly were were after for 9/11 idiot.
Here is Bush’s statement just 6 months after he promised to get Osama “dead or alive”
“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
Can you say Flip - Flop?
March 19th, 2007 at 5:08 pmI say Lier-in-Chief……
He should celebrate with Florida and relax. He’s been fighting a war against global jihadists for 5 straight years. Even a warrior needs a break.

The only thing he’s been fighting is the citizens of the United States, whom he and his kind view as serfs and peons. Including you, the grateful serf.
March 19th, 2007 at 5:10 pmWhy didn’t bush and cheney go remember the Iraq war by going hunting?
Or maybe queeny bush could go on a coke binge … something that would destroy his heart. he doesn’t have a heart, so who cares. coke away bush!
March 19th, 2007 at 5:11 pmTime to leave and let the Iraqis use there Oil for reconstruction -
March 19th, 2007 at 5:11 pmFunnily enough, I’m listening to the Jams “That’s Entertainment”. It seems to sum this war up for me - the song defines pointless behaviour. For those who know the song, have another listen. For those who don’t, give a try

Amen to that. When are these feckless jerks in Congress including the witch Pelosi going to put America’s interests first ???

My god. How can any human be this stupid.
March 19th, 2007 at 5:11 pmChimpy does not want to find Osama because Osama is Chimpy’s boogeyman. As long as Osama is alive, the War on Terra goes on.
Chimpy also did not investigate the Plamegate leakers. That’s because he already knew who they were. Hell, he probably ordered the whole thing.
March 19th, 2007 at 5:11 pmI heard his speech live on radio.
The angry, inpatient sneer in his voice was amazing as he spoke (presumably) to the American people, gold star families and veterans.
As in: ” so now you miserable winers, I gave you a few minutes of my time….the wars fine, Iraq is fine, the world is fine….so will you just get lost now and get outta my hair”.
March 19th, 2007 at 5:12 pmI heard Pelosi gave a speech to AIPAC and got booed.
If she got booed by those traitors, she must be doing something right.
March 19th, 2007 at 5:14 pmya know… i use to think these were some sacred christ appointed

How could any human have been stupid enough to vote for Bush…. Twice…?
March 19th, 2007 at 5:21 pmSurely not that many Americans were dropped on their heads ( multiple times ) when they were babies.
I sure haven’t figured that one out yet.

That was before she yanked the “Iran Provision” from the Supplmental War bill which lets Shrub declare war on Iran whenever he wants
Now that AIPAC has what it wanted they will cheer her.

March 19th, 2007 at 5:21 pmAt this point in his dismal tenure, virtually any statement emanating from President Bush is dripping with irony. Today’s speech marking the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq is no exception. For even as the President lambasted Congressional Democrats about the need for “clean” Iraq war funding bill “without strings” attached, it is the Bush White House which continues to rely on such hidden provisos in its political purge of prosecutors and manipulation of the federal budget.
For the details, see:

He doesn’t want to remind everyone that the war begins is 5th year tomorrow, and it troubles his little pea brain to think about it. Basketball is much more fun, so he tried to let the day pass with no acknowledgement, but the was being derided in the media for his less-than-somber plans for the day, so he chose to regurgitate old worn-out phrases on a page with today’s date and feel he did good.
March 19th, 2007 at 6:20 pmPoor boy-king — he didn’t think being emperor would be so hard.
Now where are his gym shoes - time for a bike ride before those Gators get here.

March 19th, 2007 at 11:26 pm“CHAMPS MEET CHIMP” should be the headline… “I won the championship and all I got was to shake hands with the worst president who ever lived”
March 20th, 2007 at 1:08 amI’m a Florida Gator and was appauled at the timing of this event. Of course this thing was going to happen — sports are a big part of our country and whoever the winner was will get shuffled around from one media photo-op to the next.
I was amused, however, at some of the athletes reactions to Bush. You could tell the ones that hate his guts — barely acknowledging him and only giving a short polite smile during the handshake. Go Gators!
I wish Urban Meyer had come up with a “Tackle the Command in Chief” plan. Maybe we could get the “football” into the hands of someone sane for the first time in 6 years. ;-)
